Fly by Jing reviews and discussion

Although I liked this chili oil, I just don’t think it’s worth the price. I agree with other reviewers that the jar is mostly oil. I personally like more texture and crisps in my chili oil. With that said, the crisps are not really crispy at all. It’s like a muted version of the LGM brand (which I love and prefer over this). This one is however a little spicier than the LGM, but less flavorful and less garlicky. It’s still a good option, but it’s much pricier than one that I already use and love.

We like it SPICY! I was putting off trying this brand after walking by it in the store every week. The price made me hesitate. However, you only need a tiny bit to send your food into outer space. I prefer this over sriracha when I don’t want the sugar content & I love this texture. Fly has an edge over my other loved chili crisp from Momofuku in cute packaging design that makes you want to leave it out.

I got this forever ago on Thingtesting and it took me a while to get to it as I was using other sauces I had on hand. But to be honest - everyone ranted and raved about this one and I have to say I dont really get it. I find the original sauces from the Asian market to be more flavorful and have more heat to them. I don't think I'd repurchase this. The packaging is amazing - love it - but i can't say this product is the best for me.

I have tried the sichuan chili crisp as a topping to a few dishes I have made and it definitely adds a lot of flavor and spice. You do have to be careful to not use too much unless you can handle it but I love it even on vegetables for some extra flavor and crunch.

This stuff is delicious. I love the sweet and spicy one. The hot version is HOT. It has so much flavor and rich umami. I love all the different flavors and products that they have now. Definitely would try anything they make. Great for cooking with, as a topping, or a dip.

Really delicious without compromising on spice! I’ve used both the original chili crisp and the zhong sauce (now called the sweet and spicy sichuan chili sauce), and I love them both. I’ll use them on eggs, veggies, mixed into rice or a bread of your choosing (like a scallion pancake or a pita), on burritos, etc. They’re definitely pricier, but I like what the brand is doing for Asian cuisine without watering down the traditional flavors. And if you’re not near an Asian grocery store/don’t buy online, I’ve seen their products in Whole Foods. The packaging is also super fun, and the amount in the jars is easy enough to get through without being in your fridge for forever! Giving it a 4 mostly because I’m fine with getting a cheaper alternative at my local Asian grocery store.

A fan favorite, Fly by Jing’s Chili Crisp masterfully balances heat and texture. Crunchy fried garlic and shallots mingle with Sichuan peppercorns, delivering a tingling *mala* (numbing-spicy) sensation. It’s perfect for adding a spicy kick to avocado toast, dumplings, or even vanilla ice cream for the adventurous. The layers of flavor—smoky, aromatic, and just the right level of heat—make it irresistibly addictive.

I wanted to love this, but I just wasn’t a fan of the flavor. I also thought it was too oily - I know it’s suppose to be chili oil - but I wanted more chilies less oil and a little more seasonings for flavor.

So delicious and flavorful. I ate this with tofu and rice and it was a great way to add a punch to a simple meal. My favorite chili oil after Lao Gan Ma for sure

Bottom line they are delicious. Approachable modern brand that brings Asian/Chinese sauces to more folks, which i can always get behind. Love to drizzle these on dumplings or even instant noodle. Easy way to add some flavor to quick, boring meals.

Sichuan garlic-y crisp sauce. This is good, but not as good as other options. Lots of the attention it gets is just based on it's branding/marketing. My preference is for Laoganma's Spicy Chili Oil which is a percent of the price but much better.

I purchased a little set from FBJ a while back - it came with 2 sauces and a jar of their spice mix. I have used them so much and love the flavor ! the mission and branding is great as well as the owner and their story! highly recommend :) I want to buy a large size of the spice blend asap!

I started out with buying the OG chili crisp ~two years ago and have converted at least three people into fans. As someone who’s usually not a fan of intense heat/peppers in my food, fly by Jing chili crisp converted me with the inclusion of sichuan peppers so the heat lands and spreads in a way that’s much more enjoyable for my palette. I’ve repurchased every time I’ve run out since and it became the perfect extra touch to everything I make (including vanilla ice cream! I promise you it’s worth it). My only reason for rating them 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the new metal (?) lids. There are probably design and sustainability benefits to the new lid but as someone with poor dexterity, I’ve found them extremely hard to open. I’ve already gotten two friends to attempt and have been unsuccessful. They’re still an amazing condiment with such unique and creative branding, but if you see that metal lid, I hope you’ve done some arm workouts.

I had this with wontons and I have to say this tastes so authentic. This pretty much replaces the spicy wonton sauce from din tai feng. Looks like I won't need to crave going to restaurants for spicy wontons. At first I thought it was quite expensive at $15 a jar, but comparatively it's the best chili crisp sauce I can buy. Would I want to pay $15 for a single bowl of spicy wontons or would I pay for the sauce which could get me 10 bowls.

I’ve tried many grocery store chili crisps before ( incl. momofuku’s) and this is by far the best one in terms of umami and flavor. I’m obsessed with their Sichuan Chili Crisp however I wish it was spicier. Next time I’ll be ordering the extra spicy version! *update: I caved and ordered the by jing box set which included the extra spicy chili crisp and it was amazing! I was also surprised by how good the chili crisp vin was, they were perf with smashed cucumbers.

I know this brand is known for their Sichuan chili crisp, which is absolutely deserving, but why aren't more people talking about their Zhong sauce??! This thick sauce is sweet, salty, spicy, savory and perfect to cook with and/or garnish dishes with.

This is our absolute favorite, we put this on everything. I’ve tried a lot of other brands and this is the best by far, best quality best flavor. It’s a kitchen staple we always have it in our kitchen

Fly By Jing brings authentic Sichuan flavors to your table with products like their Sichuan Chili Crisp and Mala Spice Mix, crafted from premium ingredients sourced directly from Sichuan. Their stylish packaging and commitment to cultural authenticity make them a standout choice for anyone craving bold and vibrant Sichuan cuisine flavors.

It actually tastes pretty good, I’m seriously impressed. But I’ll be hesistant to buy it since it’s $17+ for 1 bottle - and also because it’s not super spicy, my husband and I scoop quite a lot for a meal.

Good, but not amazing. Tried over an egg and with rice and it’s missing some of the umami and garlic I’m used to with classic brands or homemade. This came off as majority salty. Would be interested to try the other sauces, but it’s not my favorite chili crisp.
